Wat is AUSD(AUSD)?Launch

Agora’s first product, AUSD, is a fully reserved 1:1 digital dollar redeemable for USD. Unlike traditional 1:1 stablecoins like USDC or USDT, Agora’s open partnership model empower exchanges, custodians, dApps, and other ecosystem partners to actively drive AUSD adoption and participate in its growth. By sharing the majority of the income with our partners, AUSD is designed to be a collaborative asset, enabling partners to subsidize trading fees, provide margin financing, enhance marketing efforts, and deliver greater value to users across both CeFi and DeFi ecosystems.Having launched in Q3 2024, AUSD is already a top 5 fiat-backed stablecoin by daily volume. AUSD has over 20K active users and $100M+ in outstanding assets.Agora ensures the security and transparency of AUSD"s collateral through partnerships with top-tier TradFi financial institutions. AUSD"s assets are held in a bankruptcy-remote reserve trust managed by VanEck, a 100B+ AUM asset manager, within the Agora Reserve Fund, which includes cash, U.S. Treasuries, and overnight repo agreements.
